Burch added, “Creating a ‘faith and family’ event does not balance the decision to honor a perverted, fake ‘nun’ group that exists to mock the Catholic religion. In many ways, it emphasizes the contrast, and makes our case even stronger.”
He concluded by calling the Dodgers’ announcement about their faith event “a public-relations stunt intended to blunt the widespread national backlash” about the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence fiasco. “The Dodgers have one path forward,” Burch said. “Apologize and stop honoring hateful anti-Catholic organizations.”
CatholicVote is raising money for a $1 million ad campaign to demand that the Dodgers “stop making a mockery of our Catholic faith.” In a letter to the team’s principal owner and CEO, Burch said CatholicVote is “supported by millions of devoted Catholics across America who believe that the time-honored values of life, family, and freedom—which the Dodgers used to celebrate—are demonstrably good for America, and worthy of respect, not ridicule.”
